Abstract
Description
As cyberspace becomes an essential component of our
society, cybersecurity has come to the forefront of the po litical agenda. A growing number of reported incidents demand governments to come up with a strategic response
for countering cyber-threats, especially for protecting the
critical infrastructure (CI). Developing knowledgeable and
competent labour for this fast-changing area is one of the
main strategic challenges faced by many countries.
This research responds to an inquiry by the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) of Switzerland about
collecting and analysing experiences from several member
states of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) that have systematically advanced
cyber competence building. Qualitative research was conducted from July to October 2015, based on reviews, analy ses, and secondary analyses of publicly available sources.
The report presents key trends and policy options for building competences in cybersecurity as identified in ten OECD
countries which enjoy advanced levels of cyber-maturity:
Austria (AT), Estonia (EE), Finland (FI), France (FR), Germany
(DE), Israel (IL), the Netherlands (NL), the Republic of Korea
(KR), the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US).As cyberspace becomes an essential component of our
